One of Double Gameweek 35’s captain favourites Raúl Jiménez (£6.9m) starts for Wolves in the Saturday afternoon matches.

Thankfully for those backing him, Nuno Espirito Santo has named a very strong starting XI to support him.

First-choice full-backs Jonny (£4.3m) and Matt Doherty (£5.3m) both keep their places in the side, as does Jiménez’s strike partner Diogo Jota (£6.2m).

Opponents Brighton have gone with the same centre-back pairing of Shane Duffy (£4.8m) and Lewis Dunk (£4.4m), while Mat Ryan (£4.4m) is still in goal.

Despite those three players being involved in a disastrous Double Gameweek last time out, some managers will have left them in their squads and may be keeping an eye on them this afternoon.

There has been plenty of attention on Watford’s attack this week, and after days of speculation, we now know which two players will play up front for them against Huddersfield.

With Troy Deeney (£5.9m) suspended, and Isaac Success (£4.5m) still playing catch-up in the pecking order, it is Andre Gray (£5.9m) and Gerard Deulofeu (£5.6m) who lead the Hornets’ line.

Mainstay Abdoulaye Doucouré (£6.0m) keeps his place in central midfield as expected, while Craig Cathcart (£4.5m) and Ben Foster (£4.6m) start in defence.

With Jose Holebas (£4.8m) out, Adam Masina (£4.3m) starts at left-back while Adrian Mariappa (£4.2m) comes in for Christian Kabasele (£4.4m) at centre-back.

Bournemouth are unchanged for their home match against Fulham, which could reward those who looked at single Gameweek options.

So too could Jamie Vardy (£9.0m) and his Leicester colleagues, as they have Marc Albrighton (£5.1m) back in the starting line-up for the first time since Gameweek 24 at West Ham.

Bournemouth XI: Boruc; Aké, S Cook, Mepham, A Smith; Fraser, Gosling, Lerma, Brooks; King, Wilson.

Fulham XI: Rico; Bryan, Le Marchand, Ream, Odoi; Seri, Anguissa, Chambers; Sessegnon, Mitrovic, Babel.

Huddersfield XI: Lössl; Smith, Schindler, Kongolo, Durm; Hogg, Bacuna, Mooy; Kachunga, Mounie, Mbenza.

Watford XI: Foster; Kiko Femenía, Mariappa, Cathcart, Masina; Doucouré, Capoue; Hughes, Sema; Deulofeu, Gray.

West Ham XI: Fabianski; Zabaleta, Balbuena, Ogbonna, Masuaku; Rice; Antonio, Noble, Snodgrass, Felipe Anderson; Arnautovic.

Leicester XI: Schmeichel; Ricardo Pereira, Evans, Maguire, Chilwell; Ndidi; Gray, Tielemans, Maddison, Albrighton; Vardy.

Wolves XI: Rui Patrício; Bennett, Coady, Boly; Doherty, Gibbs-White, Rúben Neves, João Moutinho, Jonny; Jiménez, Diogo Jota.

Brighton XI: Ryan; Bruno, Duffy, Dunk, Bong; Groß, Stephens, Pröpper; March, Murray, Izquierdo.

      Intersting

  8. Mr. O'Connell

    6 years, 11 months ago

    Premier League is such a poor league.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Said nobody ever

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Look outside the top 6

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          People used to say that about the top 4. Now it's a top 6.

          There are some decent teams below that in Wolves, Watford, Leicester, Everton, West Ham, Bournemouth.

      2. DeathoftheParty
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        This

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Which is why I think the Top 6 should all be in the CL and failing that let us have a European super league.

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Would not mind Celtic and Rangers coming into the PL either tbh. Kick a few of the crap teams out. It would boost PL TV money and Celtic / Rangers spending power

        1. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Celtic and rangers wouldn't beat fulham and Huddersfield

          1. CloudSky
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Hibernians would maul both of those.

          2. FPL Scoop
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            they would, easily

    3. Numb
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Apart from the top 6

    4. Sif
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Go play Fantasy Scottish Premiership then

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        I'd play fantasy league one if I could

  10. Gobigorgohome

  12. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Wolves are so crap when they have the initiative.

  13. Sreeraj (TKF 15)
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Did Stephens to Deulofue for a -4.. looking good so far..
    also on BB

  14. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    They should allow 4 teams to be relegated for this season only. Huddersfield, Fulham, Cardiff and Brighton have been horseshite.

    1. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Nah we need one of them to stay up for captain options next season.

  15. tiger

  21. Mysterion

    Jota -BPS

  22. Rainer

    Did Bemba put his OMG button up for sale?

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I was thinking the same thing

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      All these other people are OMGing incorrectly.

    3. DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Numb purchased it

  23. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Dilemma. I want wolves and especially Jimenez to do nothing, but I also really need Brighton cs to bust.

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Didn’t you sell your Brighton defence ?

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Yes so I need the cs to bust

  24. JIMMY TUGGINS
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Brighton defending so deep, think Spurs will need Eriksen to start midweek to unlock them...

  25. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Bit dire so far

  26. Mweene
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    If I didn't own Jota that would have gone in. Same with Sterling cap and his chance

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Do you have KDB too

      Dr. Strange?

      1. FC Hakkebøf

        🙂

    3. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      You do realise that having a player in your fpl team has zero affect on what the player does. Just checking

      1. grumpyman
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        I’ve observed this to the case. I can kill a players form with a single transfer.

        1. Make FPL Casual Again
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Yeah the empirical evidence confirms this to be correct

  27. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Come on jota! Grab a goal my son!

    Yeah......i said it 🙂

  28. FC Hakkebøf
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Imagine the faces of those who advocated playing the BB next week because of Brightons homefixture, if Brighton keeps a CS.

    Regardless of todays outcome, I would still pick them for two away games over one home game. Same with SOU.

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      First sentence got really weird. Lol.

      Hope you got the point 🙂

    2. Numb
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah, they won’t though

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Are you watching the game?

  29. Numb
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Brighton don’t look like getting a corner Duffy fans.

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Ill take the CS instead! 😉

  30. Jafooli

    What time do the 3pm’s KO?

    1. LarryDuff
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      You wanted that top post didn't ya? 😉
